re: PHISH vs WSMFP

Well, WSP sure as shite doesn't hold that record either, not by a long shot. But between them and Phish, Phish has definitely played in front of a larger PAYING crowd, not counting multi-act festivals...

WSMFP is head and shoulders above Phish... One has the most sold out shows at the best music venue in the country. That same band holds the record for playing in front of the largest crowd ever for a live music performance. Hint: Phish hasn't done either one of those

Huh?

Like I said earlier- Phish is about to break the record for most shows played at the most famous arena in the most important city in the world.

They are responsible for the festival renaissance of aughts, with legendary events such as The Great Went and Big Cypress creating the blueprints for the Coachellas and Bonnaroos of today. Also Cypress was the biggest collection of people at the turn of the millenium on 12.31.99 fwiw.

Stats are one thing. Actual music is another. Panic has NOTHING in their career that is even in the same stratosphere as things like

12.6.97 Tweezer>Izabella
6.28.00 Bathtub Gin
6.18.94 David Bowie>Mind Left Body jam>David Bowie
12.9.95 You Enjoy Myself
11.17.97 Ghost
12.7.99 Halley's Comet
7.6.98 Ghost
11.2.96 Run Like An Antelope
12.29.94 David Bowie
10.31.95 You Enjoy Myself
...
Could go on and on
